Choosing the right treatment is a critical first step in the journey to becoming as independent as possible. With so many treatment options out there, choosing the right treatment could be challenging. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is an application of behavior principles to support teaching new skills and reduce challenging behaviors by teaching socially acceptable behaviors as alternatives. The application of Applied Behavior Analysis has been proven in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder, intellectual or developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and other neurologically based problems.
ABA works! ABA can teach communication, teach how to use a bathroom, teach night and morning routines, teach how to speak, teach how to play a game, how to take turns, teach how to make friends, teach how to keep a job, teach how to perform a certain task and many more.
